Mike Row built a new one from wood relatively recently on Dirty Jobs. IIRC, only the bands holding it together were metal.

- vonmoltke 8y agoI'm not up on NYC code, since I don't live in the city, but I wonder if it was a rebuild of an existing wooden tank under a "repair in kind" exemption. I have seen shit like that before, such as codes that allow knocking down all but one wall of a building and still calling it a "remodel" (and thus preserving grandfathered code exemptions).
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoMy favorite one is keeping one wall, building three, knocking down the last wall and huraah... still a 'remodel'
- vonmoltke 8y agoCode hacking like that is almost a sport in South Florida.
